2. 6. Long-gap esophageal atresia - The development of an experimental model of esophageal regeneration in vivo as an attempt to improve clinical outcome

   Author : Linus Jönsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Long-gap esophageal atresia; Follow-up; guided tissue regeneration; small intestinal submucosa; pulmonary physiology; esophageal replacement; extracellular matrix; macrophage phenotype;

   Abstract : Background: A subset (~8-15%) of the patients born with esophageal atresia (EA) suffer from a lack of esophageal tissue, which makes a primary anastomosis difficult to achieve. This is most common in patients born without a distal fistula between the trachea and the distal esophageal segment. READ MORE

4. 7. Outcome and prevention strategies in peritoneal adhesion formation

   Author : Fanny Fredriksson; Helene Lilja; Bobby Tingstedt; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; peritoneal adhesion prevention; inflammatory cytokines; experimental adhesion model; adhesive small bowel obstruction; adhesion-related morbidity; Barnkirurgi; Pediatric Surgery;

   Abstract : Peritoneal adhesions occur in up to 93% of adults after peritoneal trauma during surgery. Most adhesions are asymptomatic but can cause female infertility, small bowel obstruction (SBO) and chronic abdominal pain. Adhesion prophylaxis is needed to reduce the significant morbidity and increased health care costs resulting from peritoneal adhesions. READ MORE

5. 8. Constipation : symptoms and findings in relation to structural and functional abnormalities

   Author : Abdulhakim Glia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : constipation; defecation; electromyography; gastrointestinal motility; immunchistochernistry; intestinal pseudo-obstruction; physiopathology; quality of life; transit time;

   Abstract : The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge about functional constipation with special reference to symptoms analysis, laboratory investigations and histopathology findings. 155 consecutive patients with intractable constipation underwent anorectal manometry, electromyography (EMG), balloon expulsion test, colonic transit time, and defecography.

6. 9. Minimally invasive hernia surgery

   Author : Sven Bringman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Inguinal hernia; minimally invasive; laparoscopic; TEP; TAPP; Lichtenstein; Meshplug; tension-free; mesh; balloon; rehabilitation; Swedish Hernia Register; learning curve; complications; intestinal obstruction; polypropylene; polyglactin.;

   Abstract : Minimally invasive laparoscopic and open tension-free techniques have been evolved during the 1990's. Different laparoscopic techniques have been used, where the totally extraperitoneal hernioplasty (TEP) is a technically demanding but probably a better approach to minimally invasive hernia surgery than the transabdominal preperitoneal technique (TAPP), which may increase the risk of adhesions and postoperative intestinal obstruction.

7. 10. Experimental studies on the role of the gastrointestinal microflora in postsurgical adhesion formation

   Author : Claes Bothin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Adhesions; adhesion formation; germfree; microflora;

   Abstract : Introduction: Adhesions occurring after any kind of surgery is a common phenomenon and cause a great deal of morbidity and mortality, incurring a considerable burden on health care systems. Adhesions are especially prominent after lower abdominal and gynecological procedures (60-90 % of patients after one operation) causing infertility, pain syndromes and bowel obstruction as well as complicating subsequent surgery.
